March 19, 2026

CATS, presented by Ball State's Department of Theatre and Dance, opens at Emens Auditorium this weekend! Come see the Jellicle Cats and let memory live again during the Jellicle Ball at the following performances:

  • March 20-21 at 7:30 p.m.
  • March 22 at 2:30 p.m.

Directed and Choreographed by Anne Beck with Musical Direction from Michael Rafter. 

The Jellicle Cats come out to play on one special night of the year – the night of the Jellicle Ball! One by one, they tell their stories for the amusement of Old Deuteronomy, their wise and benevolent leader, who must choose one of the Cats to ascend to The Heaviside Layer and be reborn into a whole new Jellicle life.

Don't miss your chance to get $15 student and Ball State staff advance tickets – swing by the Emens Box Office to enjoy a theatrical night out with the whole crew!

CATS is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of The Really Useful Group. www.concordtheatricals.com.
